    The death of the US Empire is funny until you realize that other countries will need to endure a bunch of US immigrants complaining that roads are too small and the food doesn’t have corn syrup in it.

    Sorry, I mean expats, that’s the word when the immigrant is white

          That would be our corporate overlords wanting to keep corn farmers employed. It’s not like we have bottles of it at our table. Companies just put it in everything since it’s cheap, and since we don’t have an effective government that stops capitalism from killing us, it gets put in everything and we die from heart disease.

          that’s the fun part, it’s been snuck into all of our foods that oftentimes we have little choice.

          You can either cook all of your meals from scratch, or deal with high fructose corn syrup. That’s livin in America.

            Its even in a lot of our “ingredients” for example… Most Americans aren’t making spaghetti sauce from scratch. So when it’s pasta ragu night your getting an extra helping of sugar from the sauce. Most European ketchups are nearly inedible to an American palate.

        we don’t like corn syrup right?

        Yeah, we need corn syrup…please do not be insensitive to our addiction.

        There is no stopping the impulsive need to add corn into everything. Corn for the fuel, corn for sugar, corn for the livestock, corn for the hole. If you can cram corn in it, we’ve done it.
